About the Menu

The Whiskey Jar offers a menu rooted in Southern comfort with a relaxed, approachable vibe. You’ll find casual bites and classic dishes that feel right at home whether you’re settling in for a laid-back lunch, sharing a warm dinner with friends, or enjoying drinks after work. The menu balances hearty options like fried chicken sandwiches and shrimp and grits with lighter choices such as avocado toast and cheeseburger salad, making it easy to find a dish for any appetite.

Complementing the food is a thoughtful selection of drinks centered around whiskey and bourbon. From a smooth Mint Julep to a refreshing Moscow Mule, the cocktails add to the inviting atmosphere, ideal for unwinding or celebrating simple moments. Whether you’re here for a full meal or a casual bite with a craft cocktail or bourbon tasting, the flavors and timing come together naturally.

Menu highlights include dishes that reflect the local Southern influence and seasonal ingredients, like the rich Bourbon Bread Pudding drizzled with maple vanilla sauce or freshly fried oysters. The offerings feel memorable without being overly complicated, fitting the friendly, easygoing spirit of Charlottesville’s dining scene.
